According to the singer and activist, he was making his hair at the salon when he received a call from Eedris Abdulkareem. The Nigerian rapper had called him to rush to the airport because 50 Cent’s men attacked him.
Charly Boy said he rushed to the airport when he was told that 50 Cent’s bodyguard bounced Eedris from first class because they did not want any Nigerian artistes seated there.
The veteran singer, who is also a known biker, said that he had over 3000 bikes following him down to the airport and when he got there, he went to meet 50 Cent and told him he wasn’t sure he was going to get to the Port Harcourt he was going for his show. Charly Boy claimed he advised 50 to cancel his show and that the US rapper immediately understood the threat, so everything was called off.
